Okay I've seen nothing but lists on this site since I've joined. Every time I see one I cringe thinking to myself how ultimately unproductive such an exercise it really is. First off lists inevitably try to categorize and assign a sense of Hierarchy that says this is better than that, Second music does not fit into any ****ing category! I know someone is gonna say well genres are categories, and you're right but are they really necessary? It bugs the shit out of me when some 15 year old kid on this site starts listing their favorite artists in order of importance when in all honesty they really don't know what the **** they are talking about. So I guess what I'm trying to say is keep your lists to yourselves because nobody really gives a ****.

TS aren't you the guy that was hating on Nirvana a couple weeks ago? Why don't you stop bitching about everything, and talk about the shit you actually like, if indeed you actually like anything. Nobody wants to listen to you rant, it does you know good.

Lol you only think it's bad because it challenges your false idioms about the shit music you sheep enjoy. Bahhh Bbahhhh little sheep hurry to the slaughter won't you?

Edit: Originally all my rants were to encourage these kids here to expand their musical horizons. Now though I don't even care I know it's just falling on def ears, because this is so obviously a community comprised mostly of buttrock loving closed minded ****tards.

Well I listen to everything from The Punch Brothers and shit like Wes Montgomery to bands like Morta Skuld and a little bit in between. I even enjoy non commercial country like Chris knight on occasion, and some non traditional bluegrass. I find traditional bluegrass boring. A lot of stuff really I just hate the influence that the corporate world has on music and what people listen. Trying to push on horrible cliche after another on people. This is my wake up bitch slap to do my part and help bury commercialism in music and that includes bands like Nirvana. Indie buttrock bands are cool with me though. Though I'm not always a fan of the sound Atleast they are doing it with style and conscience. I know more rants!

I thought like that when I was 16. At some point I realized how much I was limiting myself and cast it aside so I could listen to whatever I wanted, regardless of commercial success. Your self-righteous attitude won't do anything beside feed your ego. People don't need to "wake up". They different views from you and, in most cases, are happy with those views. Let them hold their own opinions instead of submit to what you see as right.

Well with a self-righteous attitude comes the comfort and confidence of being right, and believing in whatever it is you are passionate about. So go enjoy your mediocre mundane views on life and music. They wouldn't need to wake up but they insist on pushing their views with their silly little lists. So I am pushing back.

I expand my musical horizons and also categorize musical genres and scenes because it's actual basic human cognition to create schemas for "things" that possess similar qualities!

So I can say that right now I'm listening to dark ambient and I can make a list of several artists in that genre!

Amazing, eh?

Is this meta humour or are you not aware of the crippling irony here?

(for those in the censoring thread, this is the sort of situation where it's very hard not to insult someone's intelligence)

You know how your last thread melted my assumption counter? You're about to do it again. Stop being a douche, you know very little about me or my music tastes, so how can you make comment?

Also you listen to country... and Jazz... how can you claim anyone else is narrow minded? Grow the hell up.

I was directing this towards the people who make lists about how great shit like Ozzy Osbourne is and I listen to far more than just Country and Jazz. I fully retain the right to be a douche especially when its trolling the likes of you cunts.
